About Brit

At Brit, we believe that the uncertainty of the future should never stand in the way of progress. That’s why we exist. To help people and businesses face the future and thrive. We are change-makers enabled by a global workforce who collaborate to deliver a risk service. A team empowered to help our customers not only to survive the risks they face, but to stay on the front foot and keep moving forward. We believe the uncertainty of tomorrow isn’t something to fear but to seize; that it’s full of potential. Not only for our customers but our employees too.

We might write the future of risk for our brokers and clients, but we would love to help you write your future at Brit: a future based on not just progressing but on thriving – both professionally and emotionally. If you’re looking for a place to make a real difference read on.


What you’ll be doing

As Head of Engineering, you’ll report directly into the CTO, and be a champion of our software engineering culture. You’ll have responsibility for managing development teams to enable digital underwriting and data driven culture. To succeed, you will work across the entire organisation and engage with senior stakeholders, product owners, delivery managers architecture and PMO teams.

In recent years, technology at Brit has dramatically changed with the focus moving into the cloud (Azure) and to programmes involving Artificial Intelligence and Automation. Our technology services, support, infrastructure, and security teams firmly keep our feet on the ground and at the forefront of both advancing and protecting our business.

If you’re looking for a senior leadership role, with responsibility for building and developing a team of multi-disciplined engineering talent and delivering high quality software products then we would love to hear from you.


We welcome everyone wholeheartedly

We’ve got a truly diverse, genuinely inclusive work environment. We comfortably and confidently bring our whole selves to work, because we know we’ll be respected, valued and accepted whoever we are. Our Employee Resource groups are safe spaces for people to share their experiences, aspirations and suggestions about how we do things.
